before everyone starts saying anything...THOSE ARE NOT NEONS, the are cold cathode lights. 2x as bright as neons and 2x brighter in person.

Everything is behind 2 way mirror, meaning, if the neons are off, you cannot see anything at all.

lookin good man, I have a question though, I was looking into putting some neons (or cold cathodes, I know how good they are, I use them to Light my PC) into my trunk, how did you hardwire it to the car? and or setup the switches, if you could PM me with how or a write up, it'd be much appreciated

All you do is cut off all of the PC connectors. Then all you have left is + and -. Pretty easy and str8 forward.


Thanks for all the compliments

I am certainly impressed. I have been meaning to do something with my boring trunk, But fear I do not have the skills to do what i want with it. Are you going to be using any fiberglass? Where are the subs going to be placed? And where did you get that fuse block?!

looks great, and i cant wait for finished pic/daytime pics!

All of the glass will have special panels that will be made to cover it incase I need to transport something. That way it will be covered up and not damaged.

Just I wont be able to keep anything magnetic in the trunk

That would suck...I have a bottle of fix-a-flat and if I go on long trips, I'll throw the spare in the trunk

I would figure you'd use some glass......"fiber".

I'm gonna end up glassing mine, but I know it's gonna be hella long to do....month and a half, maybe 2 months. How long have you worked on this? From brainstorming til this point? You could probably use the OEM Maxima Logoed Mat back there for a more incognito look. Just trim where you need and take it to a local shop and have them put that same trim around where you cut.

I've always been a fan of Stinger Products also. Good choice on the Cap.
On the right side you could mount a digital processor and possibly a couple more crossovers.
